Pollination and pollinators of pumpkin and squash (Cucurbita maxima Duchesne) grown for seed production in the Willamette Valley of western Oregon

Creator:: Gavilánez-Slone, Jenny M.
Abstract:: 'Golden Delicious' winter squash (GDWS), Cucurbita maxima Duchesne, provides significant amounts of pollen (24 mg) and nectar (236 μl), but with a low reward of 14% nectar sugar. The quantity of nectar produced per GDWS flower differed between sites and floral sex. The GDWS male flowers had 25% higher sugar...

Allogrooming behavior of European honey bees Apis melliferal L.

Creator:: Kuswadi, Achmad Nasroh
Abstract:: Workers in colonies of European honey bees Apis mellifera L. clean their nestmate's body by allogrooming behavior. This behavior may be initiated by either grooming dancers or by the allogroomers themselves. The first occurs less frequently (ca. 17 %) than the later (83 %). By using the inner edge of...

Foraging ecology of pollinators in the early stages of secondary succession in the western hemlock (Tsuga heteropohylla (Raf.) Sarg.) zone of the Oregon Coast Range

Creator:: Burikam, Intawat
Abstract:: The early stages of secondary succession of the McDonald and Paul Dunn State Forests, Corvallis, Oregon, were grouped into three stages; herb, herb-shrub, and shrub, based on vegetation types. Flowers of herbaceous species and residual shrubs dominated in the early years after clear-cutting. Woody plants became increasing abundant in the...

Aspects of the bionomics of the parasitic honey bee brood mite, Varroa jacobsoni Oudemans

Creator:: Principal de D'Aubeterre, Judith
Abstract:: Aspects concerning the bionomics of the parasitic honey bee brood mite, Varroa jacobsoni Oudemans were investigated. Mite mortality is great during the winter season when the host colony is not rearing brood, appearing to be independent of the mortality of its host. In winter period, no significant association between the...

Drone Engorgement in Honey Bee Swarms

Creator:: Burgett, D. Michael
Abstract:: Male Apis mellifera L. (drones) accompanying reproductive swarms were analyzed for honey stomach contents to determine if they engorge honey prior to or during swarming. No evidence for engorgement was found. A diurnal feeding rhythm in drones was observed in non swarming colonies.

Drone Honey Bee Flight from Clustered Swarms

Creator:: Burgett, D. Michael
Abstract:: The mating flight behavior of drone honey bees from swarm clusters is compared to drone mating flight behavior from colony situations. Duration of flight from swarms and colony situations is similar. Swarm drones appear to take as many flights/day but spend less time between flights than colony drones.

Number of Adult Honey Bees (Hymenoptera: Apidae) Occupying a Comb: A Standard for Estimating Colony Populations

Creator:: Burgett, D. Michael
Abstract:: A quantification of the number of adult worker Apis meltifera L. found on combs of standard sizes at full holding capacity is reported. Estimating the holding capacity of combs can assist in evaluating honey-bee colonies for pollination capabilities and also for honey-production potentials

Concurrence of the Acarapis Species Complex (Acari: Tarsonemidae) in a Commercial HoneyBee Apiary in the Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Burgett, D. Michael
Abstract:: An examination of a commercial honey-bee apiary for the Acarcapis species complex revealed the following: queens were essentially free from Acarapis parasitism: colonies were more frequently infested with A. dorsaiis and A. woodi than A. externus: individual worker-bee hosts were rarely parasitized by more than one Acarapis species. Observed sex...
